Description

A MethodSynopsis contains the syntax summary of a
method (generally speaking, methods in the object-oriented programming
language sense).

This is one of the few places where DocBook attempts to model as well
as describe. Unlike FuncSynopsis which was designed
with C language function prototypes in mind, the content model of
MethodSynopsis was designed to capture a wide range
of semantics.

Processing expectations

For the most part, the processing application is expected to
generate all of the parenthesis, semicolons, commas,
and so on. required in the rendered synopsis.
